A Message Fire Chief Ryan S. Baker

As Fire Chief of the Mount Holly Fire Department, I would like to welcome you to our website. Our intention is to provide you with information about the services that we provide to our community.

We are honored to provide emergency services to the City of Mount Holly and the surrounding areas. Currently we have a sworn staff of 19 full-time firefighters, 18 volunteer firefighters operating out of two staffed fire stations and we are in the preconstruction phase of building station three. The Mount Holly Fire Department is a diverse group of dedicated professionals that are here to serve the community twenty four hours a day. We never close.

Providing these services is an ever growing challenge. You will see on our Incident Statistics Tab, a significant amount of our call volume centers around emergency medical services. Because EMS is such a significant percentage of our work, all of our firefighters are certified as Emergency Medical Technician by the State of North Carolina. This allows us to provide rapid medical care by arriving quickly to begin treatment.

We believe we can always improve on our ability to serve the public by evaluating new equipment and initiatives in the field of emergency services. Our firefighters are constantly striving to provide the highest level of service to our residents.

EXCELLENCE THROUGH EXPERIENCE AND EDUCATIONOur employees are the ambassadors of the department and focus on providing service that is backed up but many hours of training. firefighters and Emergency Medical Technicians continually participate in programs of higher education from across the country to better serve you. Whether it is fire, medical, or rescue related, we accept the challenge of providing the highest level of service to our communities.Thanks for taking time out of your day to visit our web site.
